Project description (Dinitrogen Fixation in the Indian Ocean)

Biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation by specialized prokaryotes is the main contributor to reactive nitrogen stocks in the ocean, fueling the marine food chain and promoting CO2 sequestration. As compared to other oceanic basins, the magnitude and controls of N2 fixation in the Indian Ocean remain unknown and excluded from global ocean nitrogen budgets. The goal of this project is to decipher the role of N2 fixation in the two main sub-basins of the Indian Ocean (Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal), focusing on the two most important seasons: winter monsoon and summer monsoon. We will examine the role of monsoon on the magnitude of N2 fixation rates.
